Today Upper Klamath Refuge comprises 23,098 acres, mostly freshwater hardstem-
cattail marsh and open water, along with approximately 30 acres of forested
uplands. These habitats serve as excellent nesting and brood rearing areas for
waterfowl and colonial nesting birds, including American white pelican and
several heron species. Bald eagle and osprey nest nearby and can sometimes be
seen fishing in refuge waters.

This refuge consists of a naturally occurring cattail-bulrush marsh at the
edge of Upper Klamath Lake. Currently a fire management plan is being
developed so that marsh management and vegetation can be manipulated by using
prescribed burning.

Waterfowl densities are monitored during the fall, winter and spring via
aerial census. Ongoing research projects include yellow rail and neotropical
migrants by refuge cooperators who operate out of the Rocky Point cabin area.
